The baobab fruit, packed with fibre and vitamin C, forms the base of their functional shots, delivering flavour and nutrition in every 60ml glass bottle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But the brand\u2019s thinking goes beyond what\u2019s inside. It stretches to the bottle itself, the communities that grow the ingredients, and the footprint each product leaves behind&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Every bottle sold supports tree planting and education in southern Africa, creating a tangible impact without compromising taste or quality.<\/p>\n<p>That purpose extends to packaging. Glass is the obvious choice. Unlike other materials, it is chemically inert, it protects the drink from chemical leaching while preserving the sharp, natural flavours of baobab. It is also endlessly recyclable, keeping resources in use rather than in landfill.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1059\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_5497-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_5497-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_5497-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_5497.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unrooted\u2019s range, from Mighty Ginger to Super Greens, proves that functional, clean-label drinks can be powerful, convenient, and responsible.

It is part of the product\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0 Amber Numamoto<em>, Head of Operations and Sustainability, <\/em>explains:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;At UNROOTED, sustainability isn&#8217;t just a strategy for us, it&#8217;s our purpose. So, choosing glass was never about ticking a box; it\u2019s about using a material that\u2019s endlessly recyclable, non-toxic and one that helps us maintain a long shelf life creating less wastage through our entire supply chain. Glass protects the integrity of our products and mirrors the values we hold at UNROOTED.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1058\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_8537-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_8537-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_8537-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_8537-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/BRI_8537.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>At UNROOTED, every bottle, every ingredient, and every decision reflects a brand that values quality, impact, and longevity.
